Although fans know most of the high bounties in the story now, there are quite a few that still remain a mystery. Some of these bounties belong to characters who are incredibly powerful and are considered to be among the very strongest.
Updated July 16, 2025, by Rei Penber:The world ofOne Piecesaw a massive influx of powerful pirates after Gol D. Roger started the Great Pirate Era. With time, countless powerful pirates established themselves on the seas and made quite a name for themselves on the high seas, earning great bounties in the process. While most of the high bounties in the story are already known to the fans, there are some that still remain unknown. The original version of this list went over the strongest pirates with unknown bounties, however, more such pirates have been added to the list whose actual figures could be incredibly high.
14Yasopp
Yasopp is a member of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Executives of Shanks. Being one of the officers, it’s no surprise that Yasopp is incredibly powerful. Very little is known about him when it comes to his skills in combat, however, according to Brannew, he has made quite a name for himself in theOne Pieceworld.
At the same time, he boasts a very high pirate bounty which goes to show that he’s quite skilled indeed. Yasopp is quite possibly the best sniper in the world, yet his bounty remains unknown so far.
13Flower Sword Vista
The former FifthDivision Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Vista is an incredibly powerful swordsman known to be one of the very best inOne Piece. As seen during the Marineford arc, Vista is powerful enough to go toe to toe against the strongest swordsman in the world and fight him to a draw.
He’s a great user of Armament Haki, and his Flower Sword style is extremely impressive, as noted by Mihawk. Sadly, his bounty remains unknown to this day, but is likely quite high.
12Lucky Roux
Another of Shanks’executives, Lucky Roux is known to be the second-strongest subordinate of Shanks after Ben Beckman. It is believed that he holds the position of the Combatant of the crew, and given his position, he’s likely incredibly powerful.

Just like Yasopp, Lucky Roux is believed to have made a great name for himself over the years and acquired a high pirate bounty. As with his true power, his bounty remains unknown for now; however, as the story is likely going to focus on the Red Hair Pirates eventually, fans are likely going to see his bounty soon enough.
11Diamond Jozu
Jozu is the former Third Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and he holds tremendous strength up his sleeve. He was the leader of the vanguard of the Whitebeard Pirates, and with the power of his Paramecia type Kira Kira no Mi, he could turn his body into diamond at will.
Jozu is incredibly powerful and can use high-level Armament Haki in combat. Despite his massive size, he was fast enough to blitz the likes of Crocodile in Marineford, showing his superiority in combat. Unfortunately, his bounty remains unknown to this day.
10Scopper Gaban
Gaban was the left-hand man of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and was easily an incredible fighter. According to Roger himself, he was one of his two most trusted men, with Rayleigh being the other one. Gaban was an extremely skilled fighter, as expected of someone worthy of being Roger’s left-hand.
At the same time, he knows the entire true history, meaning he is a massive threat to the World Government. Scopper Gaban is certainly alive and although no longer a pirate, his bounty is still active.
9Shiryu
Also known as Shiryu of the Rain, he is currently the captain of the second ship of the Blackbeard Pirates. Shiryu was once a Jailer in Impel Down but due to his bloodthirst that he often satiated with killing prisoners, he was imprisoned as well.
After Blackbeard broke into the prison, Shiryu eventually broke out and joined the Blackbeard Pirates. Currently, he’s one of the strongest people in the story and is a capable user of his sword, named Raiu. Shiryu also possesses the Suke Suke no Mi.
8Ben Beckman
The vice-captain of the Red-Hair Pirates, Ben Beckman is known to be one of the most skilled pirates in theOne Pieceworld. As Shanks' right-hand man, Beckman is strong enough to take on every other Yonko Commander in a fight but what makes him special is his status as the vice-captain.
Beckman is also known to have a high bounty, as mentioned by Brannew during Chapter 957 ofOne Piece. So far, his bounty remains unknown.
7Edward Weevil
Edward Weevil is known to be one of the most skilled pirates in theOne Pieceworld. He stepped into the spotlight during the two-year timeskip and started to hunt the allies of the Whitebeard Pirates because Miss Bakkin wants Whitebeard’s inheritance.

Weevil is known to be extremely powerful and according to Kizaru, he’s just like Whitebeard in his younger days. Weevil is a monstrously powerful fighter who can take on almost anyone in combat.
6Boa Hancock
One of the former Shichibukai,Boa Hancock is among the strongest piratesin theOne Pieceworld. Known as the Pirate Empress, Hancock is a warrior who has been molded by Haki ever since she was a young pirate. She commands all the three Haki types, her specialty being Conqueror’s Haki, which makes her extremely powerful.
Hancock also has the power of the Mero Mero no Mi, which only adds to her tremendous power. She received her first bounty of 80 million berries after just one voyage and currently, her bounty is being reevaluated.
5Dracule Mihawk
The strongest swordsman in theOne Pieceworld, Dracule Mihawk is an exceptionally powerful character who once rivaled the likes of Shanks. He is the wielder ofthe strongest sword in the series, the Kokuto Yoru. Mihawk’s full strength hasn’t been seen yet, however, he is certainly up there with the very best.
Surprisingly, not even one of his former bounties has been revealed to the fans but after reevaluation, it’ll likely be very high, just like that of Boa Hancock.
